In a cafe in Lucca, my good friend Matteo Moriconi discovered this music sheet from 1933 owned by collector Piero Caniparoli. The music of "Topolino va soldato" was composed in 1933 by Carlo Alberto Pizzini.

According to a site about the composer, Walt Disney heard the music played in Rome on Saturday, July 20, 1935 during the special gala evening in his honor that he attended at the Roman Barberini film theater.

You can listen to a recording of the music at this link.

More great sheet music being released by Voigt Publications!

The Snow White Master Score Limited Edition is quite an expensive, yes, but it's a document that I had to pre-order! I just did.

Speaking of Disney's Lost Chords, did any reader of this blog realize that Disney launched earlier this year digital albums on Amazon featuring the never-released Disney songs?!!

As part of this great series you will be able to get:

Cinderella, The Aristocats, and The Rescuers (thanks to Greg Ehrbar for the heads up about all this).
